"I'm off!" Wen He said with a smile and a wave.
"Okay, be careful on the road and come back early!" Cheng Yudie responded enthusiastically.
Xiao Huang, a little reluctant, pounced on Wen He's legs.
"Alright, I'll be back soon. You have to take good care of the house. I'll bring you your favorite meat when I get back," Wen He said softly, stroking its head.
Xiao Huang seemed to understand him. With a "Woof!" it ran back to Cheng Yudie's feet.
It sat there very properly and obediently, wagging its tail.
As if to tell Wen He: "I will take good care of the house and wait for my master to return."
After a five-day break, Wen He set off again to the recording site for the fourth episode of the show.
Wen He had been watching this show every day recently.
After all, he was going to participate, so he had to understand something about it.
So as not to be stumped by questions on stage.
The first three episodes were a preliminary screening of the contestants in the three tracks.
These three tracks are respectively...
"Magnificent Solo" led by Xue Zhiqian, "Magnificent Beauty" led by Yang Mi, and "Magnificent Magic Voice" led by Hua Chenyu.
Starting from the fourth episode, it officially entered the PK stage of the three different tracks.
And the director adopted a live broadcast format, where the audience could vote for their favorite contestants in the live broadcast room.
Whoever has the highest popularity can successfully pass this PK.
The mentors, as star promoters, hold a spot to save someone.
They can save and promote someone with low popularity but who the mentors think has potential.
Of course, according to the director, Wen He doesn't need to understand any of this.
He doesn't participate much in the show's activities, merely existing as a mascot.
Existing to be there to boost popularity at crucial moments in the show.
This is also one of the things Wen He likes most about this show.
He himself is essentially a very socially anxious and introverted person.
Just like the director told him not to release new songs these days, Wen He simply disappeared from the internet.
In fact, he could totally go live and chat with his fans.
But Wen He is very clear that he is not good at chatting...
And there are many memes he doesn't know, fearing that it will make everyone awkward.
So Wen He is very happy that the director arranged for him to be a mascot.
Although he does have very high attainments in music, if he really had to give guidance, he could definitely say a lot.
But Wen He thinks it's best if such things don't happen...
It's better to leave the guidance to the three mentors.
What if what he says is different from what the three mentors say?
When he watched the show, he noticed that the three mentors occasionally disagreed and had small arguments.
But witty and humorous bickering makes the show more interesting and has a better program effect.
Wen He felt that he couldn't do it, he was afraid of arguing with others.
Because he would directly shut up and choose to remain silent.
Wen He has always adhered to the principle of "The less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make."
Especially now that he can be considered a public figure, there are also many hungry wolves waiting for Wen He to make mistakes to feast on his fame.
Even if he doesn't make mistakes, saying too much will lead to people maliciously editing and piecing together videos for traffic, creating gimmicks.
Gao Chongting and Cheng Yudie have been emphasizing these things.
"Long time no see, I've missed you so much!"
As soon as he got off the plane, the director enthusiastically came up and gave him a hug.
Seeing his state, he probably knew that the show's effect was very good.
"Investing in you was indeed the most correct choice. Our show has now achieved quite high ratings."
"Tomorrow is the fourth episode of the show. You basically have to be there for the whole show. Take a good rest tonight and recharge your energy."
"The show won't arrange for you to do anything. There are no restrictions on the song selection this time. You can sing whatever you want."
"If you can interact with the mentors, contestants, or audience, that would of course be even better."
"However, I can't guarantee that no one will approach you during the entire show. That's obviously not realistic."
"We can't control things like contestants taking the initiative to talk to you, so you still need to improvise."
On the way to the hotel, the director talked to Wen He a lot.
He could also see that Wen He was still a little afraid of crowded stages.
So after returning to the hotel and putting down his luggage, the director also arranged for the three mentors to meet with Wen He.
They chose a private清吧 (qīng bā, a type of bar) where the director had booked the whole place.
The atmosphere of the 清吧 (qīng bā) was very good, quiet and comfortable.
"Wen He is here! Come, come, we've been waiting for you for a long time!" Xue Zhiqian said happily, getting up when he saw Wen He and the director's appearance.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Wen He said apologetically, clasping his hands together.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He only arrived two minutes before you. He hasn't even warmed the seat yet," Hua Chenyu directly exposed him.
"Hua Hua, you always expose my secrets." Xue Zhiqian was very upset to be exposed.
"It's quite cold outside. Let's have a cup of hot tea to warm up first."
Yang Mi thoughtfully handed over a cup of steaming black tea.
"Thank you, thank you." He repeatedly thanked her as he took the black tea.
This harmonious and beautiful scene made Wen He's slightly nervous heart relax a lot.
"Have you thought about what song you're going to sing tomorrow?" Yang Mi asked curiously.
This question stunned Xue Zhiqian and Hua Chenyu, who were still playing around.
Then the two of them came over at the same time, wanting to know in advance what song Wen He had prepared for tomorrow.
"I'm troubled by this," Wen He scratched his head.
"You didn't prepare?" She was a little surprised.
"No, I prepared a lot, but I don't know what type to sing."
"What do you mean by 'prepared a lot'? You haven't been live streaming or releasing new songs these days. Have you been saving them all up?" Xue Zhiqian was greatly shocked.
"That's right," Wen He admitted, following Xue Zhiqian's words.
He couldn't possibly say that the system gave him an inexhaustible supply of new songs, could he?
Upon hearing this, the three mentors suddenly gasped. They looked at each other, wide-eyed.
It was obvious that they had never seen such a diligent singer as Wen He.
"Li Ronghao was right, the Chinese music scene is really fortunate to have you."
Hua Chenyu also didn't expect that although Wen He hadn't released new songs these days, he hadn't been resting either, and was still maintaining a high intensity of creation.
Generally speaking, after earning enough money, the desire to create will also decrease.
After all, after reaching a certain volume, new works that are not good enough are easily criticized, which will reduce one's height.
No one in this world dares to say that every song they sing will be a hit and deeply loved by everyone.
Of course, the most important thing is that there are easier and more relaxed ways to make money, so there is no need to engage in new creations. Everyone tries to avoid such thankless tasks.
Wen He's behavior is instead a manifestation of extreme confidence.
It's as if he never doubts that his songs will collapse.
"I also get so much creative inspiration because I listen to the songs of all the teachers and seniors," Wen He said.
"Wen He is as humble as ever," Yang Mi sighed.
"If you have a lot of new songs, why not consider singing some emotional songs tomorrow?"
At this time, Xue Zhiqian gave a suggestion, and then he continued...
"Anyway, it's easy for you to make people cry when you sing any song, so you might as well go all out."
"Sing some extremely sad love songs and make everyone cry their eyes out."
"It just so happens that I'm also at a bottleneck period. Hurry up and share some of your creative inspiration with me."
